Almost all states offer at least one 529 plan. With so many options, it may be daunting to know where to start. That's why it's a good idea to start with your own state's 529 plan (sorry Wyoming). And, your state may offer an additional tax benefit which may be of interest to you. As with any investment, your personal circumstances will dictate your choices so it's a good idea to consult with your financial advisor, if appropriate.
Click on the link below to go to a page published by U.S. News & World Report which contains extensive information about state plans and also tools to compare the plans.
We're pleased to make the 529 Savings & Selection Tool available to you. Our tool will guide you through the 50 direct-sold 529 plans recommended a plan (and alternate plan) which you can open directly with the plan provider. SoFi does not offer its own plan.
Once you've opened your plan, if you are redeeming a gift card, return to SoFi's LEAF College Savings Gift Card site with your plan name and account number to redeem your gift card into your 529 college savings plan account.
If you are setting up a payroll contribution using our Payroll Contribution Service, you can complete your enrollment with plan name and account number after you've opened a 529 plan account.
You'll need to create a SoFi account to use the 529 Savings & Selection Tool.
